Energy
the ability to cause change.
Kinetic Energy
energy due to motion.
Potential Energy
stored energy due to the interactions between objects or particles.
Work
the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance.
Mechanical Energy
is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
Sound Energy
the energy that sound carries.
Thermal Energy
is energy due to the motion of particles that make up and object.
Electric Energy
the energy that an electric current carries.
Radiant Energy-Light Energy
the energy that electromagnetic waves carry.
Nuclear Energy
energy that is stored in the nucleus of and atom.
Chemical Potential Energy
a form of potential energy that can be absorbed or released during a chemical reaction.
Elastic Potential Energy
stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a spring.
Gravitational Potential Energy
is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.
Friction
the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another

PHYSICS
Consider the following question: A car moving at 10 m/s crashes into a tree and stops in 0.26 s. Calculate the force the seatbelt exerts on a passenger in the car to bring him to a halt. The mass of the passenger is 70 kg. Would the answer to this question be different if the car with the 70-kg passenger had collided with a car that has a mass equal to and is traveling in the opposite direction and at the same speed? Explain your answer.
PHYSICS
A dolphin wants to swim directly back to its home bay, which is 0.80 km due west. It can swim at a speed of 4.00 m/s relative to the water, but a uniform water current flows with speed 2.83 m/s in the southeast direction. (a) What direction should the dolphin head? (b) How long does it take the dolphin to swim the 0.80 km distance home?
PHYSICS
The nucleus of a hydrogen atom is a single proton, which has a radius of about $$ 1.0 \times 10 ^ { - 15 } \mathrm { m } $$ The single electron in a hydrogen atom normally orbits the nucleus at a distance of $$ 5.3 \times 10 ^ { - 11 } \mathrm { m } $$ What is the ratio of the density of the hydrogen nucleus to the density of the complete hydrogen atom?
PHYSICS
A 2.7 kg block of wood sits on a frictionless table. A 3.0 g bullet, fired horizontally at a speed of 500 m/s, goes completely through the block, emerging at a speed of 220 m/s. What is the speed of the block immediately after the bullet exits?
